Forming Technology III - Forming Processes
Umformtechnik III - Umformtechnische Verfahren
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:05:48
Abstract
The lecture teaches on the basic knowledge of major processes in sheet metal, tube and bulk metal forming technologies. In particular it focuses on fundamental computation methods, which allow a fast assessment of process behaviour and a rough layout. Process-specific states of stress and deformation are analysed and process limits are identified.
Objective
Acquaintance with forming processes. Determination of forming processes. Interpretation of forming manufacturing
Content
The study of metal working processes: sheet metal forming, folding die cutting, cold bulk metal forming, ro extrusion, plunging, open die forging, drop forging, milling; active principle; elementary methods to estimate stress and strain; fundamentals of process design; manufacturing limits and machining accuracy; tools and operation; machinery and machine usage.
